and &#8220;price&#8221; come to mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people rely on big tech corporations for services, such as internet access, that provide a venue for their businesses.&nbsp;&nbsp;The small company website or Facebook page are examples.&nbsp;&nbsp;Typically, in order to run a business, one must have a state license.&nbsp;&nbsp;Licensing businesses is the job<sub>2bC<\/sub>&nbsp;of the sovereign<sub>3bC<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1996, Congress passes and President Bill Clinton signs the so-called &#8220;Communications Decency Act&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ramaswamy discusses this legislation at length.&nbsp;&nbsp;In a certain way, the federal government<sub>3bC<\/sub>&nbsp;farms out&nbsp;<em>the internet licensing business<sub>B<\/sub><\/em>to big tech companies<sub>3aC<\/sub>, by providing internet service providers with legal immunity<sub>2bC<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is very similar to a state government not being held legally liable for the actions of a business that it has registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0361 So far, so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 230 says that first, internet providers<sub>3aC<\/sub>&nbsp;are not to be treated as publishers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, publishers are those who broadcast using an internet service.&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, the provider may not be held liable for good-faith actions to restrict the access or the availability of obscene, lewd, lascivious&#8230; or otherwise objectionable displays of &#8220;information&#8221;, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0362 From what I understand, Section 230 provides a loophole that is large enough to negate the first amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, America&#8217;s supreme court will rue the day when they ruled that pornography is the same as free speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some say that &#8220;free speech&#8221; is &#8220;pornography for people who hate&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since pornography is obscene, lewd, lascivious&#8230; and so on, then any statement that violates &#8220;community standards&#8221; must be removed from display on the internet, as if it is pornographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0363 The rhetoric is rather confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one hand, actual pornography qualifies as &#8220;free speech&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, dissenting opinions must be treated as if they are pornographic and removed from display on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0364 Ramaswamy proposes an incredibly simple correction.&nbsp;&nbsp;Access to obscene, lewd, lascivious&#8230; or otherwise objectionable displays should be restricted, except for material covered by the first amendment of the constitution of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine the lawsuits that would come from that correction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0365 Here is a picture of the society<sub>C<\/sub>&nbsp;tier for this example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide27-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide27-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide27-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide27-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the situation level,&nbsp;<em>the normal context of the Federal Government<sub>3bC<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;brings&nbsp;<em>the actuality of the 1996 so-called &#8220;Community Decency Act&#8221;<sub>2bC<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;into relation with&nbsp;<em>the possibility of &#8216;order on the then-fledgling internet&#8217;<sub>1bC<\/sub><\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The title gives sovereign authority<sub>3bC<\/sub>&nbsp;to internet providers<sub>3aC<\/sub>&nbsp;in order to first, provide platforms<sub>2aC<\/sub>&nbsp;(and not be held liable for the material that is published by users on the platform) and second, ensure that community standards<sub>1aC<\/sub>&nbsp;are upheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this raises a question, asking, &#8220;Who is going to propose the criteria needed to establish whether internet published material does not violate &#8216;community standards&#8217;?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who is going to enforce that criteria?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Am I talking about experts<sub>3b<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0366 I suspect the reader can guess where I am going with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide28-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide28-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide28-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide28-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>0367 Community standards<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;are constituted by financial exchange<sub>2H<\/sub>, associated with&nbsp;<em>a user publishing on an internet service provider,<\/em>&nbsp;and organizational objectives<sub>2V<\/sub>, associated with&nbsp;<em>establishing criteria concerning what is objectionable and what is not objectionable<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community standards<sub>2V<\/sub>&nbsp;can be ensured<sub>1aC<\/sub>&nbsp;by internet providers<sub>3aC<\/sub>&nbsp;through a wide variety of manipulations, including biasing search algorithms, defunding incentives, as well as temporary and permanent deplatforming.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are a lot of options for experts to employ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0368 However, one consideration is not mentioned in&nbsp;<em>all the academic discourse on ensuring community standards<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;That consideration is precisely&nbsp;<em>the one that Ramaswamy points out<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>No expert discussio<\/em>n takes&nbsp;<em>the first amendment of the constitution<sub>2cC<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0369 If anything, for America as a nation, the founding events and documents occupy the slot for relational object<sub>2cC<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The American Revolution is the foundation<sub>2cC<\/sub>&nbsp;of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curiously, the American Revolution is &#8220;not religious&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;The first amendment of the American Constitution rules out the federal government establishing a religion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some call the &#8220;not religious&#8221;
